SIB Core and Cassette single_source_justification signed.pdf

Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition)

Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 5 CONS Purchase Request/ Identification Number:

F3C3EC0059AW04

Project/Program Name: SIB Cassettes Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

$240,500.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

SIB Core part # 4019683 and SIB Tufted Wire Bristle Cassette part # 4021593 to fit our Oshkosh Airfield Brooms.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source

The Air Force has suggested to Oshkosh that they install the SIB Core on all the Airfield Brooms that are sold to the Air Force. Myslik Inc is the sole distributer for the SIB Core and SIB Cassettes in the US and are sold to Oshkosh to be mounted on the Airfield Brooms. The SIB Core and associated Cassettes are the only type that will fit the Airfield Brooms and there is no suitable substitute. The tufted wire bristle cassettes are specific to the core and to use any other cassette will cause damage to the SIB Core and void the 10 year manufacturer warranty.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

During an extensive internet search and call to the manufacturer, it was discovered that Myslik Inc is the sole distributor for the required SIB core.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source Awards

As long as the Air Force continues to purchase the Airfield Brooms with the SIB core we will need to purchase the replacement parts through Myslik Inc.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
